A member asked:
Hello doctors, i need to know if your feet can grow after a certain age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no : The simple answer is no. Bones will not grow under normal circumstances after their growth plates have closed. However as we get older the soft tissue that surround these bones can change. Sometimes this will widen the feet and other times it can make the feet smaller. Hope that answers your question.
